Tai is Paradise!
This is our second day in Bangkok. Today we have a trip to the historic part of the city. It was decided to get there by boat-tram, canal. Armed with a map and re-reading a bunch of forums, we find a canal and go down under the bridge, watch the passengers board, the boat approaches, and everyone jumps, almost on the move, it gets scary (we decide to watch the landing, and dare, uh, we're in. In the boat we notice a European, he sits right in front of us, I wonder where he is from? "He replied, " And what city? " question: "How is he here? ", He replied: "The best in the world!
Explaining to us how best to get to the Royal Palace, and what else to see along the way, he left at the next stop ...
We go out, a man runs up to us, asks for a map, asks where we are going, draws something on the map, circles three objects, and says that it will cost us 20 baht, we agree, a tuk-tuk approaches and we sit down. Surprised, something is very cheap, maybe we misunderstood? ? ? Okay, let's go, see what happens next, drive up to one of the temples, enter, inspect everything, take pictures, go on, tuk-tuker, stop and point to the map, explains if he takes us to the jewelry store, then he they will fill up the tank of gasoline, thinking, we agree, because we know that this is their income.
In the store we were given a glass of water, invited to the workshop, and then to the trading hall, we made a small purchase, then we were given a coupon -10% and spent in a souvenir shop, buying souvenirs, we are happy to go to his tuk-tuk, he us honestly waiting.
After visiting two more temples, he took us to the place where he took them, paying 20 baht, he left. And what about the royal palace, we haven't seen it? We get a map and look in surprise, we decide to go there, although it is possible on foot, but time is running out, we may not have time. We catch tuk-tuk again, the price here is another 50b. We bargain, but to no avail, okay, let's go. We arrive at the palace, the man runs up again, begins to tell that the palace to 16, we look at the clock, the horror of 15.50, we go to the temple of Wat Po, and the man says no, no, it is also closed, come tomorrow and call tuk-tuk, we turn around and go to Wat Po, approach the box office, pay 50b, read the hours until 18, hurray, have time.
) We walk around the temple, very beautiful, a little sorry for the Royal Palace, well, okay, there is also something to look at) Looking a lot, we go out and notice our friend, who for some reason pulled his cap over his eyes)))
We walk along the road, thinking about how to get back, we decide to try on foot, on the way we go to a restaurant, and order a bottle of Singh beer, and a portion of mixed grill. We are afraid that it will be, acutely, our fears are futile, everything is fine and even very tasty, huge portions that are difficult to deal with. Lunch cost 700 bytes. It's dusk outside, it's time to go. When we walk to the canal, we wonder if the boats are still working? They turned on the flashlights and also work, sit down and drive to their stop, what a wonderful evening Bangkok!
Soon a meeting with my sister, she will pick us up from the hotel and we go to Pattaya.
